Early Departures

[AZSIOUX]

I think actually he was near the top of the 2nd round wasn't he?

yes

he can play but he is a absolute train wreck if things dont go his way. to draft a goalie in the 2nd round is very very high. things arent looking to good as i dont see him playing at all with the gophers. hes done and will be in the echl to start im guessing. they cant throw a 2nd round draft pick away already so he will get his chance. no doubt about it.

He was the 38th player selected in the 2005 draft. That's square in the second round.

He will be too old for the CHL. He could transfer to another school if someone is willing to keep him around a couple of years and help him get his head straight. He'd have to sit out a year, but maybe that's what he needs.

[gopherz]

AZ hit it right on the head, can't bail out on a goalie with that much talent who you drafted that high, even if he is a headcase. It's time for him to go, he won't play at MN.

[Goon]

I think he would start in the AHL. He's definitely talented enough, just not mentally there

I don't see Long Island Frazee starting in front of Parise or the the other Lowell goalie.

[Sioux]

wheeler will be gone, oshie, chorney and finley are gone. duncan probably as well and throw in 1 more semi-suprise maybe

who cars about the sioux right now, they still have business to take care of!!

i say duncan stays and kozek is gone. i hope they both stay, but thats not happening. kozek could have a phenomenal year if he stays, though.

[yzerman19]

I bet both Duncan and Kozek finish out their careers. It would certainly be a different look not having Oshie with Duncs.

If they do come back we will have a glutton of forwards.

I never knew they were gluttons

[Sioux_Yeah_Yeah]

I'm thinking Kozek and Chorney stay...

(You heard it here first haha)

[yzerman19]

Chorney? wishful thinking...we can dream can't we

[#1fan]

Chorney? wishful thinking...we can dream can't we

If Kozek gets the chance he will be gone for sure

[Diggler]

Chorney? wishful thinking...we can dream can't we

I'm pretty sure Leah does dream, hence her Me So Chorney sign.

So Kozek, Oshie, Duncan, Chorney, Finley?? Ouch that would be an unprecedented number of early departures. I see Duncan staying possibly but that is about it. Let's hope we can get the job done this year and that will make the landslide of departures easier to handle

I would be willing to bet that Kozek is back next season.

Coyotes draft history...

Wow, didn't realize that they'll be adding Porter and Kolarik to Mueller and Turris. Just imagine if they hadn't wasted the Wheeler pick.

[AZSIOUX]

I would be willing to bet that Kozek is back next season.

i wouldnt. it could go either way

[DAR]

i wouldnt. it could go either way

If Kozek gets an offer he is gone.

[siouxguyinstpaul]

I would be willing to bet that Kozek is back next season.

as would I

[siouxguyinstpaul]

I see Hobey Baker finalist Mr. Jones signed yesterday with the Wild and is moving to Houston.

Didn't we lose 5 players early a couple years ago? Although Spirko didn't go pro, he was an early loss regardless, and a big loss. Zajac, Jordan Parise, Smaby and Stafford also left that year I believe. That's what makes it so impressive to get to the Frozen Four in 4 consecutive seasons.

Yes, that was after the 05/06 season that we lost 5 players to early departures.

A little off-topic for this thread, but does anybody have a list of incoming players next year for UND? Thanks...
